EDITORIAL: Kudos for Cokie
There are few people in the world more qualified to give a group of young men and women an educated outlook on the state of world affairs than Cokie Roberts, and the Class of 2004 is very fortunate to have her as commencement speaker this May. Although speakers like Tom Brokaw and Billy Joel -who have delivered commencement addresses at Fairfield in the past-enjoy better name recognition than Roberts-who has been in broadcasting for 30 years-she is without a doubt one of the most respected figures in journalism.
